Rev up for a new hobby – scale model Slotstox

And according to club secretary Nick Thrower it’s fast, furious and fun.

He said: “It’s ideal for home Scalextric and expert racers alike.

“Just like full-sized racing, the track is oval but with a chicane to force cars close together so there are lots of crashes and the winner is the last person running – if you fall off or are pushed off, that’s the end of that race.”

He added: “What can be better than pushing a national champion off the track and going on to win? As well as being fun, it introduces techniques of car construction and maintenance as well as an opportunity to drive cars that are a fair bit quicker than the average Scalextric – an ideal stepping stone into faster slot cars on the club’s raceway.”
